THERE is some talk about an early ses-

idly accumulatlng in the treasury vaults,
but there is as yet no substantial evidence
as to when Governor Beaver will call an
extra sestion of the legislature to pass the

Gofio: the Food OF the Canary Is

/ have alluded to the excel
lent bodily development and proper
tions of the modern Canarians, and to
the testimony left by the old chron-
iclers to the still fine characteristics
of the ancient Guanches, who are in
deed described as marvels of bodily
strength, beauty, and agility, because
these facts have an important bearing
on the question of their food. As
there can be no such bodily growth,
strength, and activity, as is described
as belonging to these people, without
superior nourishment, it follows that
the food used by the Guanches, and
adopted and still almost exclusively
used by the present inhabitants, must
be highly nutritious.
This article 50 evidently important,
is the gof0, named at the head of this
paper. There is nothing mysterious
about it, for goiio is simply -four made

the grain in broad, shallow earthen
dish. over charcoal-fire 1t is kept
constantly stirred, to prevent burn
ing One can hardly pass through a
village or hamlet without witnessing
some stage of the preparation OF go
ito. The grain is first carefully picked
over and all impurities removed. The
process frequently takes place in front
of or just within the always-open
door, giving the traveller ample OPP
portunity to see AL steps of the prep
aration. The grinding is done at the
wind-mills, which abound everywhere.
The roasted grain is ground to very
! fine flour when it becomes gOiio. At
ter grinding it is ready for immediate
use. When it is to be eaten, milk,
soup, or any suitable fluid, may be
mixed with it-anythiug, in fact, to
give it sufficient consistency to be con-
veyed into the mouth. Being already
cooked it requires no other prepara-
ton before eating.

The Fuel Question.

There are now at least 100000 families in
Dakota. To keep them warm and cook
their food will require an outlay of at least
$50 to each family, or $4,000, 600 for fuel
alone, the value of nearly one-third of her
entire wheat crop in 1SS6.-Majne Farmer.
There will be no such drain on Yer
mont for keeping warm this winter.
We have wood enough-and more than
enough--and, in our opinion, it is
growing faster than we use it. We
shall doubtless have something to say
on the forestry question in the near
future. But winter is coming on and
we want to get things snug about the
buildings, get in leaves for bedding
(straw is worth too much for fodder to
use for thaD, get the wood together
ready to saw, pick up what has fallen,
etc. The wood for sugaring was put
up under the shed in the summer, so
that will not need attending to; but we
can't stop now to attend to the forestry
business.

Care of Milch Cows.

There is more economy in taking the
mich cows to the barn early than in
forcing them to pick their living as
long as they can in the pastures and
moving fields. A shrinkage of milk
indicates that they are not getting feed
enough, or that there is little nutrition
in it, as there is not after it has been
frost-btten. 1t will cost less to feed
them now in such manner as to pre-
vent shrinkage, excepting such as may
be the natural result of the time that
has elapsed since the calf was dropped,
than it will be to bring them back to a
reasonable flow of milk for winter
after they have been allowed to fall off.
There is also the danger of their gnaw-
ing the grass so closely as to expose the
crown of the roots Especially in those
varieties that grow in tufts, as herds
grass and orchard-grass) to being win
ter-killed. Such grasses need the pro-
lection of the growth they make after
September and should not be deprived
of it. In the finer grasses which form
the turf of the permanent pastures there
is not this necessity, but even they are
better for not being gnawed too closely
late in the fall.-America CultiUator.

The Potato Crop.

Five acres of potatoes, an estimated crop
of one thousand bushels, were sold by a
farmer in Bowdoinham for the sum of 81
for the entire lot. Such loss of this crop
has not been known for forty years, when
the potato rot was first felt Maine Farmer
No such general failure of the potato
crop has been known in our section
since the great rotting of 1874, we be-
lieve. Many fields have been left, not
being worth the labor of digging
others, where dug, will hardly pay for
the work with the crop secured. We
can eat little more johnny-cake and
few less potatoes. With our bounti.
full corn crop we shall not starve.
Look on what we have saved rather
than what we have lost. Reports
say that potatoes will be so scarce in
some parts of the West this year that
supplies must be shipped from other
places even for farmers use. Heavy
freight charges for long distances are
almost prohibitory with regard to east.

spare from home consumption.

heredity and social competition, of
which much might be said. The as
sertion that women dress thus barbar-
ously just to please the men is amusing
and calls for proof If any one can tell
us just what sort of feminine grace and
beauty is pleasing to all men, let such
an one have the floor as favor to the
rest of the public. How is it that A
falls desperately in love with a little
dumping of a woman, with a good arm
full of waist, while B marries tall,
willowy lady, G takes for wife Cor
lets her take him) an Amazon with
strength enough to put him in the dark
attic if he doesn't behave to suit. and
DIS wife is so fragile that the lightest
summer breezes are too rough for her
frame? Isthere any one style of woman
that suits the generality of mankind?
1t is to be presumed that each man
married his choice and regards his
wife as a model. So in regard to COM
pleXion. Women are often accused of
using paint and powder or eating ar
senic to make themselves fair to please
the men. But who can tell which of
the two is the more popular, the lily
white belle or the brunette d? / have
seen young man appear to he as
deeply in love with a girl as " black as
thunder-cloud as another one was
with delicate pink-and-whit damsel.
The same holds true in regard to other
things, especially dress. Most men
claim to like to see woman we'll
dressed; but ideas are exceedingly
varied, and often indstinct, as to what
constitutes a well-dressed woman, and
very few are able to give a detailed de-
scription of costume which it may be
they pronounce elegant. So the woman
who hopes to please universally by
lacing or not lacing, by painting or not
painting, by one style or another is
either doomed to disappointment or
she is genius. The truth is, women
do not dress to please the men but them
selves. Women are severe with each
other, and are more anxious to escape
from one another's criticism than they
are to win admiration from the oppo-
site sex. And they follow each other
in every change of fashion, as sheep
follow one another over a wall, simply
because they lack independence and
are afraid to follow out convictions.

More About COrSet-W Wearing.
by SPINSTER.


l have been interested and somewhat
amused at the discussion of the corset
question, and at the side issues that
have been brought in; and l agree
with the editor that it is well to have
the matter talked over and the truth
made clear if possible. 1t seems strange
to me that any one should think that
there is little or no injury done by
tight-lacing at present. In my work
(nursing) l find constant evidence of
the evil effects of the pernicious habit.
One woman | was taking care of told
me that she put cOrsets on when nine
years of age and always drew them as
close as possible. The result was
lack of proper development, causing
her great suffering; and she declared
emphatically that her daughter should
never wear them. A few days ago /
met young lady twenty-five years
of age, who was visiting friend.
She was broad-shouldered and built for
at least a twenty-six-inch waist, but she
could not have measured more than
eighteen inches, if as much as that.
She was a pale, feeble invalid, lived
upon tonics and cod-liver oil, brought
her medicine to the table and talked of
aches and ills. Her waist was deformed
and was as repulsive to me as any other
deformity. By-and-by she is going to-
die, Just because the life has been
squeezed out of her. l could tell of
many cases similar or worse. 1t is no
use to deny the fact that there are multi
tudes of women and girls, either igno-
rant or reckless of consequences, who
imagining that to be small about the
waist, regardless of breadth of Shout
ders and hips, is to be pretty-compres
themselves into the smallest possible
compass, rendering themselves hideous
to the intelligent eye. But l am far
from laying all the blame of women's
invalidism to this cause. 1t is true we
are nation of invalids, but there are
other as potent factors at work to pro-
duce this, chiefest of which / deem are

Varied Farming.

There are few lessons more plainly
and conclusively taught by the great
fair which was held last week at
Worcester than that the farming of
New England cannot hope to vie with
that of the West and the South, but
must continue to become more and
more mixed industry, aiming to ac-
complish varied rather than comprehen-
sive ends, content with small profits
under many names, and including
number of interests which con-
venience and necessity combine to make
related. Our markets are numerous
and near, our transportation facilities
all the time multiplying, our popula-
ton of consumers rapidly increasing
and our dependent industries stretch
ing out their limits in every direction.
The consequence is a condition of
things exceptionally favorable to the
producer, while at the same time it
tempts the cOvetousness of the middle
man and handler. There is no single
section of the country whose farming
possibilities are thus so enlarged as our
own. We have nothing to apprehend
and everything to expect If it be an
accepted fact that community of in
terests in great variety furnishes the
broadcast and surest basis for profitable
production from the farm, then New
England is favored above all other Sec
lions of the country with her unques-
TONED opportunity. - NeO England
